Support your child to notice what their body needs, and to find the play that brings their energy up so they can actively learn and engage, and the play that brings their energy back down so that they can rest and concentrate, with sensory play that is curated and ready to go.

This play kit was curated by our therapy team so the sensory play we recommend can actually happen at your house. The mess has somewhere to be contained, the supplies are already in the box, and there is nothing to source first. Made for families who have started to wonder whether what looks like behaviour might be a sensory need, and who want somewhere to start.

WHAT'S INSIDE

What's in this play kit

A full kit of play-tools, curated to work together.
Slip and Slide and Body Board Set

Slip and Slide and Body Board Set

A full size water slide with a body board, for the kind of play that gets the heart going. Many children avoid running and moving because the huffing and puffing feels too close to worry, so this gives them a reason to go fast that feels like fun. Then they get to feel their body speed up and settle again, which is the part that teaches them something.
SUNNYLiFE Sprinkler Mat

SUNNYLiFE Sprinkler Mat

An inflatable mat that connects to the hose and holds a shallow amount of water. We love this for its sides, which keep the mess in one place on the lawn instead of all through the house. Water holds its own kind of calm, and that works just as well for a ten year old as a three year old.
Sensory Play Card Set

Sensory Play Card Set

Thirteen activities in our custom made card set, each one photographed so your child can look through and choose what they want to make. Cloud dough, oobleck, kinetic sand, slime, texture boards and more, with the requirements and the ways to play on the back of each card. The activities are walked through on video in the Hub as well, so the kids can follow along independently.
Sensory play supplies

Sensory play supplies

Soap flakes, chia seeds, shaving foam, cornflour and more, so the first activity can happen from the day it arrives rather than after a shopping trip. Enough to get going and to work out what your child gravitates to before you buy more of anything.
Reflection Card Set

Reflection Card Set

Cards for afterwards. Not straight away necessarily, maybe an hour later or the next day, when they’re open to it. They give your child words for what their body was doing and which parts they liked, and they give you a way to further understand them.
Creative Projects Craft Kit

Creative Projects Craft Kit

Pom poms, feathers, sequins, balloons and paper plates, with a spread of textures to stir through the play. The feathers and the balloons are also good for breathing games when you want something that settles rather than excites.
Parent Guide

Parent Guide

A short guide for you (the adult), covering what each activity is for and what to look for while they are in it.

Why we built it this way

Up and down, in the same afternoon

Up and down, in the same afternoon

Racing down a slide takes a body up. Hunting for sticks and stirring shaving foam bring it back down. Doing both is how a child feels the difference for themselves, which means they get to understand themselves rather than just being told about it.
Words for what is happening inside

Words for what is happening inside

Is your heart going fast? Put your hand on your chest and have a feel. Noticing a racing heart, quick breathing, or how heavy their legs go afterwards is where regulation starts. It is learnable, and most children need someone to help them notice it. This is where that happens.
Watching and noticing

Watching and noticing

Noticing what they like, what they do not like, and how calm they are while they are in it. You will learn a lot about your child from watching them play in all of the ways this kit allows. So take some pressure off yourself and enjoy the playing and the watching.

INCLUDED WITH YOUR PLAY KIT

The videos that come with it

Everything in the kit is ready to use from the day it arrives, so your child can experience the excitement of unboxing and getting stuck into play right away. When you want the reasoning behind it, there is close to two hours of video: what tools are included and why it was curated that way, a session on ways to play, and then the activities themselves walked through on video, showing the child how to make each one and what to do with it once it is made. We'll send your invitation to access it all when your kit ships.

WHO THIS PLAY KIT IS FOR

If big feelings look like this

  • They go from nought to a hundred, and I cannot always see what set it off.
  • Someone mentioned sensory, and it made sense, but I do not know what to do with it.
  • I want them to grow up knowing how their body feels, and how to communicate that.
If any of that sounds like your family, this is who we built the play kit for.

Who made this

Kait is an OT. She has been working with children and families for nearly 20 years, and she has four kids of her own. She built this play kit because sensory play is one of the most powerful regulation tools there is, and it is also the one that most often does not happen. The sourcing, the setting up and the mess often get in the way of seeing the benefits of this type of play. The sensory play card set and the reflection cards were developed by Kait and her team, alongside the videos, so there is something the kids can grab and follow pretty independently and then something to talk about afterwards, where that self understanding piece can come through.
